FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a hair setting device forsetting hair to have a desired shape; and, more particularly, to a hairsetting device for setting a desired hair style just by combing one'shair without having one's hand stained with hair setting material suchas mousse

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Conventionally, in order to make a desired hair style, one uses ahair dryer to make his or her hair half-dried and then fixes the hair byusing hair setting material such as a hair spray, hair gel or mousse.

[0003] The hair spray is used directly onto the one's hair to fix a hairstyle which is already in a desired shape. On the contrary, the hair gelor mousse is used to make a desired hair style while they are still wetand then dried to fix the style.

[0004] Among these hair setting materials, the mousse is a viscous fluidgenerally filled in a container with air and, since the mousse driesfast and is easy to use, it is getting popular. When one uses the mousseto set one's hair style, a required amount of the mousse is dischargedout of the container onto a comb or hand. However, the comb usually doesnot have enough area to accommodate the required amount of the mousse.Further, in case one uses one's hand, he or she has to wash his or herhand to remove the remaining mousse on the hand.

[0115] Further, a storage part 111 is formed at the base portion 110 ofthe comb 100 and stores setting materials provided to the guide groove11 through the main body 10 of the hair setting device. The storage part111 includes spouting holes 112 formed therein for spouting out thesetting materials supplied from a container 1 toward the space betweenthe teeth 120. The storage part 111 stores therein a certain amount ofsetting materials when the setting materials are provided from thecontainer 1 and then discharging the setting materials through thespouting holes 112 in order to control the discharging pressure ordischarge rate of the spouted materials to be same.

[0116] The spouting holes 112 starting from the inside of the storagepart 111 are formed in such a manner that outlets thereof are disposedbetween the teeth 111 or at a side of each of the teeth 120 afterpassing through central portions of the teeth 120. Absorbent members 130are installed adjacent to the spouting holes 112 between the teeth 120in order to absorb the setting materials discharged from the spoutingholes 112.

[0117] The absorbent members 130 prevent the discharged settingmaterials, e.g., mousse, from being liquefied and flowing down along thesurface of the teeth 120 or the main body 10 when the mousse touches theteeth 120. Further, the absorbent members 130 uniformly touch thesurface of a user's hair and help the mousse contained therein to beevenly distributed.

[0118] In general, the absorbent members 130 are made of sponge orsponge-like materials and can have a form of a brush or the like ifrequired.

[0119]FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 show different types of absorbent members. InFIG. 10, the spouting holes 112 and brushes 131 are located between theteeth 120, wherein the brushes 131 function as the absorbent members 130and are installed in parallel with each of the teeth 120. On the otherhand, in FIG. 11, the spouting holes 112 are positioned such that theoutlets thereof are located at sides of each of the teeth 120 and thebrushes 131 are installed in a discharging direction of the spoutingholes 112.

[0120] Accordingly, the setting materials provided to the main body 10from the container 1 are spurted to the guide groove 11 through theinside of the main body 10 and gathered in the storage part 111 formedon the base portion 110 of the comb 100. Then the gathered settingmaterials are spurted out between the teeth 120 at an identicaldischarge rate or blast pressure through the spouting holes 112. Thusspurted-out setting materials are firstly absorbed by the absorbentmembers 130 and then uniformly coated on user's hair when the usercombs.

[0121] Further, the combs shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 can be used in dyinghair as well as putting hair setting materials, e.g., mousse.

[0122] As described above, the combs in accordance with the thirdembodiment of the present invention employs the absorbent members toprevent the hair setting materials discharged from the spouting holes inthe hand part from being liquefied in contact with the teeth and flowingdown the teeth. The absorbent members also help the hair settingmaterials to be uniformly coated on the user's hair by uniformlytouching the hair when combing.

[0123] A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be describedhereinafter with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13.

[0126] Further, an O-ring is installed at an outer surface of the blastnozzle 210 so as to firmly adhere the blast nozzle to the inner surfaceof the nozzle settling part 201. A rubber plate 221 is attached to thetop of the adjustable valve 220 in order to seal areas between thenozzle settling part 201 and the mousse introducing space 202.

[0127] The mousse introducing space 202 is sealed by the barrier plate230 installed at the bottom of the valve housing 200 and the mouse inlet231 is formed at a center of the barrier plate 230. The motor pump 260is coupled to the mousse introducing hole 231 through the hose 250. Ahose fixing cover 240 is connected to the valve housing 200 so as to fixthe hose 250 at the barrier plate 221. Further, the spring 222 isinstalled between the barrier plate 230 and the adjustable valve 220 tosupport the adjustable valve upward and helps the adjustable valve 220in separating the nozzle settling part 201 and the mousse introducingspace 202.

[0128] The motor pump 260 is connected to the inside of a moussecontainer 270 through the mousse absorbing pipe 261. The operation ofthe motor pump 260 is controlled by a pressure sensor (not shown) andautomatically initiated when an internal pressure of the valve housing200 falls below a predetermined level.

[0129] Meanwhile, the blast nozzle 210 and the mousse absorbing pipe 261in accordance with the fourth embodiment of the present invention have aplurality of mousse inlets 212 and 262, respectively. Thus, though endportions of the blast nozzle 210 and the mousse absorbing pipe 261 areadhered to the top of the adjustable valve 220 and the inner bottom of acontainer 1, respectively, introduction of the mousse can be performedthrough the side thereof. Further, a swirling line 211 is formed at theinner surface of the blast nozzle 210 to allow the mousse passingthrough the nozzle 210 to flow in whirls and form bubbles.

[0130] Next, the way of using the mousse supplying device in accordancewith the fourth embodiment and effects thereof will be describedhereinafter with reference to FIG. 13. First, the mousse container 270containing therein a great amount of mousse is placed at a separatedplace and the motor pump 260 is installed adjacent to the moussecontainer 270, wherein the mousse container 270 and the motor pump 260are connected to each other through the mouse absorbing pipe 261.Thereafter, the valve housing 200 is connected to the body of the hairsetting device and also connected to the motor pump 260 by fitting thehose 250 to the mousse introducing hole 231 on the barrier plate 230which is formed at the bottom of the value housing 200.

[0131] One end portion of the operating valve 40 is an incline and theincline is in contact with the button 44. Thus, when a user presses thebutton 44, the operating valve 40 is also pressed and transferreddownward to thereby press the blast nozzle 210 and the adjustable valve220 as well. When the adjustable valve 220 is pressed, the mousseintroducing space 202 and the nozzle settling part 201 once blocked fromeach other come to be inter-communicated and the mousse provided to themousse introducing space 202 is spouted through the blast nozzle 210 andintroduced to the inside of the body 10 through the operating valveadjacent to the blast nozzle 210. When passing through the blast nozzle210, the mousse is forced to swirl and generate bubbles by the spirallines formed at the inner surface of the blast nozzle 210.

[0132] When the mousse is discharged from the blast nozzle 200, thepressure within the valve housing 200, i.e., the pressure in the mousseintroducing space 202 is lowered and the lowered pressure is detected bya pressure sensor. Then, the operation of the motor pump 260 isautomatically initiated so that the mousse is provided from a moussecontainer 170 through the mousse absorbing pipe 261.

[0133] Meanwhile, when the user stops to press the button 44, theadjustable valve 220 reverts to a previous location by an elastic forceof a spring 22 to thereby isolate the nozzle settling part 201 from themousse introducing space 202. However, when the mousse is introducedinto the mousse introducing space 202 and thus the pressure thereinincreases, the pressure sensor automatically stops the operation of themotor pump 260.

[0134] In the fourth embodiment of the present invention as describedabove, the mousse container is not directly connected to a hair settingdevice but located at a separated place. Accordingly, the hair settingdevice can be miniaturized and light-weighed. Further, since anon-gas-cylinder-type mousse container with higher capacitance is placedat a separated place, an environmental pollution and a gas explosion canbe prevented and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

[0135] A fifth embodiment of the present invention will now be describedwith reference to FIGS. 14 to 21.

[0136] In a mousse or spray supplying device in accordance with thefifth embodiment, a handle 300 having a comb 320 attached thereto isconnected to a container 1 through a tube 330.

The combs 320 have differentstructures depending on the hair setting materials to be containedtherein. For example, a comb for spray and a comb for mousse aredifferent. FIGS. 15 to 18 illustrate different types of combs.

[0141] FIGS. 15 to 17 show combs for mousse, wherein the spouting holes322 are located between the teeth 324.

[0142] However, in case spray is used as a hair setting material anddischarged through the spouting holes 322, the spray is readilyliquefied by touching the teeth 324, thereby failing to be uniformlycoated on hair. As a solution to such problem, the nozzle 307 isinstalled at the guide groove305 of the handle 300 in lieu of the slitand set to be communicated with the carrying passage 301. The nozzle 307contains a cylindrical nozzle pipe 308 with a nozzle core 309 formedtherein. Spray liquid sent to the carrying passage 301 travels through aspace between the nozzle core 309 and the nozzle pipe 308 and is blastedthrough a bole formed at an upper portion of the nozzle pipe 308. Thenozzle core 309 is provided at an outer surface thereof with protrusionsor grooves (not shown), which cause the spray liquid passing through thenozzle to swirl.

[0143] FIGS. 16 to 18 exhibit the combs 320 for spray, wherein a nozzleinsertion hole 323 is formed at the base portion of the comb 320 insteadof the spouting holes. The nozzle pipe 308 is set to be projectedbetween the teeth 324 and no tooth is prepared where the nozzleinsertion hole 323 is formed.

[0144] Various types of combs having a different tooth size and lengthand a different intertooth distance is provided to satisfy various needsof users.

[0146] One end portion of the tube 330 is led to a lower part of thehandle 300 and the other end portion of the tube 330 is coupled to anozzle of the container to thereby connect the handle 300 and thecontainer 1. Further, an empty room 311 is formed at a lower part of thehandle 300 to arrange and hole the tube 330, as illustrated in FIG. 21,when the mousse or spray supplying device is not in use.

[0147] Referring to FIGS. 15 to 17, one end portion of the tube 330 isconnected to the nozzle 2 of the container and fixed thereto by a fixingnut 410. Then a nozzle 2 is pressed by an operating nut 420, which isengaged with a fixing nut 410. A hole is formed through the center ofthe fixing nut and the tube 330 is inserted through the hole The fixingnut 410 includes a plurality of fixing piece whose lower parts areseparated from each other by a plurality of groves (not shown) formed atan outer surface of the fixing nut 410 in a direction of inserting thetube 410. An operating nut 420 engaged with the fixing nut 410 enclosesthe outer surface of the fixing nut 410 and causes the fixing piece totighten the tube 330. Further, a lower part of the operating nut 420 isengaged with an upper part of the container 1, wherein the jointposition can be varied and the operation of the nozzle 2 can be adjustedby controlling the joint position. To be specific, when turnedclockwise, the operating nut 420 becomes closely adhered to the top ofthe container 1. Then the applied pressure is propagated to the nozzle 2through the fixing nut 410 engaged with the operating nut 420 and thepressured nozzle blasts the setting materials. To the contrary, when theoperating nut 420 is turned counterclockwise, the pressed state of thenozzle 2 is released.

[0148] The mousse/hair-spray supplying device in accordance with thefifth embodiment as described above further includes a case 400 forkeeping the comb 320, the container 1 and the handle 300.

[0149] As shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the case 400 includes a plurality offixing grooves 401 for holding the combs 320, a container supportingunit 410 for supporting the container 1 and a handle holder 402 forholding the handle 300. The case is sealed airtight by a cover (notshown).
